Yup, that's part of the supposed "Gen Z is lazy" mentality they try to spread. While making them jump more hoops than ever for "entry level" jobs that has less buying power that may not even pay rent. And no pension/social secutity to even try to reel the few in that do that.

People may not all be financial experts, but they can do basic math and realize none of this makes sense.

>If the US sets a debt ceiling and inevitably hits it (based on past performance), the ensuing devaluation of the dollar may lead to an even stronger form of corporatism that makes such power plays about wages, hours worked, and work conditions look relatively tame.

2 years ago we were starting to properly talk about 32 hour workweeks. Sad how quickly things can go backwards. Really hope America isn't stupid and tries to go the Greece route with this inevitable crisis.

Gen Z support of unions is highest of all generational strata. They know what’s up.
